The New York Times Sues OpenAI for Copyright Infringement

The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that the companies knowingly copied millions of copyrighted articles to train their AI models, despite being aware that these tools threatened the survival of publishers. OpenAI claims this is fair use, but The New York Times' lawyers argue that the defendants repeatedly and completely copied millions of articles to develop commercially viable, substitute AI products. This case is one of the most closely watched among dozens of lawsuits filed by copyright holders against AI companies.
